I downloaded an ISO file which was about 560 Mb but when I extracted
the files with Iso Buster the files were 1.03 GB. I want to know how
this can be done and how can I create a similar Iso file for the
software I have.

The application UltraISO will do that from a CD-ROM or Virtual CD-ROM. ISO
is also a compression format not just an archiving format I believe. But to
tell you the truth an ISO of 1.03 GB when extracted was not made to write to
a CD-ROM.
 
Programs like UltraISO can optimize a CD. Where a CD has two identical files
instead of the files both being copied to the CD only one is copied and a
link is put in that points to the file. This can save a lot of space when
there are lots of duplicate files.

Thanks, I had tried UltraIso earlier but didn,t notice the Optimize
function. With that checked it really worked like dream. Thanks again.

It's probably an ISO of a DVD image, not CD.
